Chapter 11 The Night Comes
Although Hatsu Tao made slow progress in his cultivation, he was still able to learn other things quickly.
After following Kuang Yi for a few days, even he couldn't help but praise him for learning well.
On weekdays, when Kuang Yi paints, Mu Bai is grinding ink on the side, and it is always a little strange for two big men to be alone in the same room.
After accepting the "apprentice" of Chu Tao, these things were naturally handed over to her to do.
The sun was shining very well on this day, and there was already some breath of a little spring.
Chu Tao was ground and ground as usual, Kuang Yi was about to paint, and he unintentionally raised his eyes, and saw Chu Tao walking to the opposite side of the high table.
Today, Yi wore a white-green shirt and a willow-colored breast-length skirt, which reminded Kwong Yi of the new leaves blooming in the spring breeze in February.
Kwong Yi pays attention to artistic conception when painting, and especially loves to smoke incense.
I saw that Chu Tao was filling the burned carbon in the incense burner with fine incense ash at this time, and poked some holes in these incense ashes.
After carefully testing the temperature on the top of the ash surface with the palm of your hand several times, you can put money, silver leaves, and sand flakes on the incense ash to keep out the fire.
Then he took out the incense box, twisted out an incense pill with his white left hand, and put it into the small incense burner in front of him, and the aroma was slowly roasted out.
This set of actions is smooth and pleasing to the eye.
It's hard to believe that she only saw her incense two or three times, and then wrote down the steps.
For a while, poems such as "green clothes holding inkstones urging question papers, red sleeves adding fragrance to accompany reading", "several times trying incense and fiber hand warmth, and tasting wine and lip light" and other poems suddenly drilled into my mind.
For the first time, Kwong Yat understands what the artistic conception of "red sleeves add fragrance" written in the book is, and the strange way is addictive.
Jia Chu Tao was very obedient, and only stood aside and watched while he painted, never disturbing him.
Kuang Yi became more and more satisfied, and Taolai was even more serious at the beginning of teaching.
There are two people here, one is willing to teach, the other is studious, and they enter the country very quickly.
And looking at the laurel side again, it's really a bit bleak.
Even if Chu Tao is a patient master, there is no way to take this somewhat stubborn laurel.
After almost burning the kitchen once, I finally made some progress and didn't make the same charred and mushy dishes as before.
But I still can't grasp the heat well, either I haven't broken yet, or I'm burned.
I can't get the seasoning accurately, it's either too salty or too light, and I often mix ingredients and seasonings on a whim.
In short, although it is no longer "shocking", the taste is still very unique, anyway, except for Mu Bai, no one wants to try her dishes.
After Chu Tao took charge, Jindu Lou's business gradually began to pick up.
Due to the layout of the store, Chu Tao rarely cooks some home-cooked dishes.
It mainly makes some healthy dishes, as well as a variety of vegetarian dishes, soup pots and more delicate pasta dishes, such as three shrimp noodles.
When I have time, I also make some pastries and tea fruits for afternoon tea, which has become a favorite place for the disciples of the sect for a while.
......
In two days there is Laba, because some merchants are rushing home for the New Year, and there are obviously fewer people on the streets.
There was no one that night, and the weather was a little cold, so everyone was ready to go back to their rooms after dinner.
At this time, a man and a woman walked in from outside the store.
The man looked very cold. A pair of thick black eyebrows and narrow eyes.
The nose is slightly hooked, the face is square, and the whole person exudes a sense of seriousness.
But the real attraction was the woman who walked in front of him.
This woman has a pair of peach blossom eyes with affection, and a flower in the center of her eyebrows, which makes her complexion like snow.
Although the veil covers the lower half of his face, it is difficult to hide this dusty beauty.
Look at the temperament of this body, it is even more on the appearance.
On such a cold day, she only wore a vio-colored fly-sleeved gauze skirt, which made her more and more slender and dusty.
When walking, it is like a weak willow supporting the wind, and the whole person looks delicate and soft, which is pitiful.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Chu Tao and Yuegui.
And Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Hei were already stunned, and hurried over to greet the woman after she sat down.
The woman looked at Kuang Yi, and her voice was soft, as if she was coquettish.
"Why? When the old man comes to visit, doesn't the shopkeeper personally entertain him?"
The man stood behind her, like a loyal guard, and then looked at Kuang Yi as well, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Kuang Yi has been frowning since the two of them came in: "Chu Tao, please go to the kitchen to prepare a dinner for the two guests." ”
He also told Yuegui, Xiao Liuzi, and Xiao Hei to go back to the room, leaving only Mu Bai by his side, and then sat down opposite the woman.
"It's really not easy for you to find here, it's strange that I made Wu want to look for you for a few years, and then I got your news.
Coming out of the Guanghan Palace, just to open a wine shop here, what's so good here that I have kept you for so long. ”
The woman picked up the teacup in front of her, and took a sip of her red lips, her lips shining moist under the lamp, like a wordless invitation.
What actions she does are ambiguous.
She tilted her head, looking innocent: "Let me guess, is it...... Is it because of those two girls?"
"I said that the moon looks much brighter today than it used to be, because you are not there.
There's nothing wrong here, but there's one thing, it's just clean. ”
"Well, I forgot, you've always been clean, and it's really clean here.
However, Brother Yunsheng, it's too dangerous outside, you should go back with me. ”
"Go back with you, and be the rabbit that you are rubbing and playing with in Fairy Ji Chang's arms?"
Kuang Yi shook the teacup in his hand and looked at her coldly.
"Brother Yunsheng, why do you still have this headache temper.
I don't know how many times I've explained to you, it was a purely expedient measure, all to protect you. ”
"Expediency? Who gave me the spell that has been pressing on me since then?"
"That's right, it's me...... But at that time, you had just experienced such a blow, and you had not fully recovered from your injuries.
I'm afraid that you will be impulsive, so I can only keep you by my side in this way.
At that time, Guanghan Palace was the safest place for you.
Of course, now, the enemy is still lurking in the shadows, who knows what will happen to you?
Come back with me, okay?"
"No need, thank you for the fairy's kindness. ”
Ji Chang stretched out his hand to grab Kuang Yi's sleeve, but he brushed it away.
Her face was full of grievances, and tears in her beautiful eyes could not fall, and she held them in her eyes.
"You keep claiming that I am a fairy, and you won't even let me touch a piece of your clothes, have we been born to this point?"
"No, fairy, you're wrong, we've never been familiar with it. ”
"Brother Yunsheng, you look at me, how can you say that we have never been acquainted!
I am A'e who has been following you since I was a child, and I am A'e's sister who you raised with Aunt Wan!"
When Chu Tao came out with the food, he saw the scene of the beautiful woman crying like rain, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
I can only try to reduce my sense of presence and put the meal on the table.
The woman suddenly became excited at this time, stood up and walked in front of Kuang Yi.
Mu Bai wanted to stop her, but the man behind her also followed, confronting Mu Bai.
The woman squatted down and hugged Kuang Yi firmly.
Chu Tao saw this scene, and in the spirit of being indecent and disrespectful, she turned around and trotted away.
The choked voice of the woman behind her sounded even more pitiful: "Are you still blaming me?
You tell me, you tell me if it's okay Brother Yunsheng! I can explain it, I can explain it. ”
